PEEC's accelerated learning provides a very attractive return on investment.

PEEC’s accelerated learning provides a very attractive return on investment. An example of this is the Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt, which takes less than two weeks to complete. Elsewhere, this consists of five separate weeks of training; which can take as long as eight months. Imagine the earning potential or career progression opportunities that could pass by over this period.
At PEEC we are passionate about our training, and we want to take you on this journey with us. Call a member of the PEEC team, and find out which training experience is right for you.

Our Master Black Belts

Our Master Black Belts

Master Black Belts are more than just skilled technologists. The cornerstone for success of a quality accelerated technology training provider is the instructor’s ability to translate complex technical theories into understandable concepts and applied knowledge.

In addition to delivering our courses, our instructors are also consultants for major organisations worldwide. Every day, they acquire more extensive real-world experience which is reflected in the courses they teach and the books they write.

PEEC Training instructors are cross-certified industry professionals – ranging from renowned authors to senior information technology consultants, with extensive real-world knowledge.  Every PEEC Training Instructor:

  • Is certified in their chosen subject (in the case of Minitab training we only employ Minitab Certified Trainers)
  • Has many years of experience in a senior consulting role
  • Provides accelerated instruction and guidance, covering fundamentals and hands-on concepts, and demonstrating real-world scenarios to solidify your understanding

The PEEC Master Black Belts deliver the curriculum, provide leadership, coach students to ensure successful information comprehension and retention as well as certification. Instructors provide group instruction and individual assistance with a keen ability to cater to every aptitude and background.

Lean Six Sigma Design of Experiments Y = f(x)

Design of Experiments
§DOE was originally developed in 1930’s by Sir Ronald Fisher to improve agricultural methods
§Fisher used DOE to maximise the yield of agricultural crop (Y) by changing the key process inputs; fertilizers & seed type (x’s)
§ he DOE approach allowed Fisher to understand the main effects of the inputs, and the interactions between the inputs which impact the process output
§The objective is to logically organise changes to 2 or more input variables (x’s) and evaluate if any variable, or any combination of the variables, significantly affect the output (Y)
What is Design of Experiments?
§A DOE is a set of tests on the process output with at least 2 process inputs, each set at 2 or more levels
§The key principle behind the DOE technique is to create a perfectly balanced design which includes an equal combination of process settings

Lean Six Sigma Why Learn Hypothesis Testing?

To identify sources of variability using historical or current data:

  • Passive: a process is sampled or historic sample data is obtained
  • Active: a modification is made to a process and then sample data is obtained

Provides objective solutions to questions which are traditionally answered subjectively

Works for differences in means, or Variances (Standard Deviations), or proportions

Lean Six Sigma and Waste

§Lean operations display the following characteristics:

üThe elimination of non-value adding activity – waste

üOnly producing what is required, when it’s required

üClose links in the value chain including supply chain input (JIT)

üDoing things right first time

üEnsuring processes are robust

 

 

§Many of the techniques are simple and common sense
§These Lean techniques and ‘mindset’ are often mistakenly associated with volume manufacturing.
§However the same principles have also been successfully applied in Project Management, Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, HR etc.

Lean Six Sigma and Value Stream Mapping

§The current state VSM was created in the Review Phase and is analysed in the Investigar Phase for improvement opportunities.
§There are many lean tools & techniques which can be used but the majority of these are outside the scope of EGB training (see EBB Session 2).
§However, the majority of Lean tools & techniques are common sense improvements that become obvious after modelling the whole value stream.
§Potential improvements opportunities are represented as Kaizen Bursts (call-outs) on the VSM, at the appropriate place within the value stream.
§Kaizen is Japanese for improvement.

Lean Six Sigma

  • The Six Sigma objective is to measure and reduce “Process Variation”
  • Sigma is a measure of variation and ‘six sigma’ means a near ‘defect free’ process, On-Quality
  • When a process is freed from producing defective items this increases its capacity and/or reduces its Throughput Time
  • Delivering at every step in the process On-Time and On-Quality will greatly support On-Cost performance

The key principle behind the DOE technique is to create a perfectly balanced design which includes an equal combination of process settings

Consider the example below with 3 key process inputs, each set at the high end (1) and low end (0) of their respective specification (or process variation) limits

Black Belt training during the summer in Würzburg

during the months of July and August there will be several green and black belt session for Lean Six Sigma; all events will be held in the Maritim Hotel in Würzburg.

Zentral und unweit des Hauptbahnhofs erwartet das stilvolle Maritim Hotel Würzburg seine Gäste. Direkt am Mainufer gelegen, bietet es einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Festung Marienberg, die hoch über der Stadt thront. Die barocke Innenstadt mit ihren zahlreichen Sehenswürdigkeiten lässt sich bequem zu Fuß erkunden. Elegantes Ambiente, verbunden mit herzlicher Gastfreundschaft, und der direkte Anschluss an das Congress Centrum Würzburg schaffen ideale Voraussetzungen für jeden Reisezweck.
